Additional Info
Resto-mod. Prototype Transition Covert originally belonged to Kevin at Transition. I wanted a new shock but didn't have anything in 7.5" eye to eye but a modern 190x45 fits perfectly, with a little less travel. So then I got my hands on a matching Marzocchi Z1, swapped in an adapter and a straight steerer to fit the frame and had hub spacers made to fit the Revolution 20x110 hub in the 15x110 axle/dropout. Reverb AXS solves any cable routing issues since this frame was never designed for a dropper.
